We performed a comparison between Oracle VM and RHEV based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Virtualization Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"It's quite stable."
"It's a very mature product."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of RHEV are all the tools, such as virtualization, management of cloud platforms, and integration of container environments. The solution has good compatibility between virtualization, content management, and cloud management. Having the full set of these tools is the advantage of it."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
"Something that could be improved are the snapshots that go in the ZFS Storage. If you want to enjoy Oracle VM, you will definitely want it to go together with ZFS Storage to maximize on the snapshot facility."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"When we do a direct comparison, then obviously VMware does better in terms of having Fault Tolerance and doing active disaster recovery and these kind of things. This is something that can be improved within Red Hat."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"It would be better to have more patches, especially kernel-level updates, live and online so that we can keep the business up and running during this period."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
